[IAEP] [Sugar-devel] triage meeting

[Daniel Narvaez]

Yes, things we *want* to do are normal priority, my issue is with things
that would be nice to do :)

Terminology aside, I'm not saying it's bad, just expensive and IMO lower
priority then a lot of other awesome things we could do... But if there are
people interested in "keeping records", all the power to them!
